| Obverse description | The reverse die — here shown as the principal face — displays a bold voided short cross pattée at centre, dividing the field into four quadrants, each containing a secondary decorative element: a crowned letter C (top), a pellet group (upper left), a small cross pattée (right), and additional pellet ornaments and angular letters forming part of the moneyer's legend. The outer border is a raised beaded circle typical of late Anglo-Saxon hammered coinage. The overall design follows the characteristic Quatrefoil-influenced layout of the CVNNETTI type, struck under Cnut's monetary reform. |
